UPDATE: Aaron Schock back to casting votes

In this week’s column, we noted that starting March 17, the day he announced his March 31 resignation, U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock stopped casting votes on the House floor.

Certainly that’s understandable on the day he very publicly announced the end to his political career amid the scandals that have dogged him since the start of February. It’s less understandable after that day, since he was still on the clock for taxpayers through the end of the month.

But House members were back in session Monday evening taking votes, including one urging President Barack Obama to provide assistance to Ukraine against Russian aggression.

Schock was among those voting, just as he cast a vote on another minor resolution that night.

We’re glad to see it was an aberration, especially since he’s still making about $6,700 for the two weeks on the job between his resignation announcement and when it takes effect.

At any point that he wants to respond to our interview requests too (seven days and waiting), we’ll be around.

Let him go. At least he was man enough to resign right away. How about you liberal
media start writing about the lying piece of muslim scum in the Whitehouse who
are taking our country down faster than a downhill sled ride
